New BRA website

Anyone having trouble filtering projects or documents? I try but it just pops up with the full list again and again.

They have lots of cool maps by neighborhood and also some historic maps. In the document center they have 3D models of most neighborhoods' buildings. The file type is .max which I think you can open in Autodesk. I can't open the files, but would be curious if anyone else can and comment on the quality, etc.

The map view for each neighborhoods' development on the dropdown menu just gives me the list view. The most useful way to visualize the projects is to click view by development projects to the left of the opening page map and then click to individual neighborhoods. Really effective way to grasp what is going on in each neighborhood.

Ah okay, that works better. I guess they didn't test the more old fashioned way as well. This is pretty neat. Especially discovering a "Board Approved" project in Allston I don't remember.

But oddly enough ... no documents?

BostInno did a preview of the new BRA website which will launch next week: http://bostinno.streetwise.co/2013/...pment-authority-to-launch-new-website-photos/

New Features:
-3D MODEL OF EACH PROJECT (Yay!)
-Interactive homepage map
-Redesigned calendar
-More individual neighborhood info
-More development project details (Yay!)
-Easier document access
-BRA Planning and Community Outreach

All just in time for the agency to be disbanded.
